Study on the Influence of Notched Empty Hole Parameters on Directional Fracture Blasting Effect
Placing empty holes between charging holes is widely used in blasting engineering to achieve directional fracture blasting. Studies have shown that the presence of a notch along the empty hole wall enhances stress concentration and supports improved control over crack propagation. The notch angle and length are the two main parameters influencing the impact of notch holes. Therefore, in this study, we used numerical simulations to investigate how varying notch angles and lengths influence the directional fracture blasting effect. The findings suggest that, among the different types of holes used in directional fracture rock blasting, notched empty holes have the most significant guiding effect, followed by empty holes, while the absence of empty holes yields the least effective results. In the directional fracture blasting of a notched empty hole, stress concentration occurs at the notch tip following the explosion. This alters the stress field distribution around the empty hole, which shifts from a compressive to a tangential tensile state. Additionally, this concentration of stress causes the explosion energy to be focused on that location, resulting in a directional fracture blasting effect. In blasting construction, selecting the appropriate notch hole parameters is necessary to achieve optimal effects and reduce damage to surrounding rocks. Based on the notch parameters assessed in this study, the optimal effect of directional fracture blasting is achieved when the notch angle is 30°.
